  • NFB: Check out this engine compartment

    It's the performance version of the Solstice. A GM podcast about 2 months ago mentioned 240+ HP. That would give an LT1 a run for it's money!

    I was impressed right up until the point of noticing the way one of the emissions tubes attaches to the valve cover.

      Yeah. That was my impression too. It does say this is a picture of a "test mule" so hopefully it will be a better engineered connection on the finished product.

        Nothing like JB welding a fitting to the head! Being a test mule I think there are a few thing that arent quite up to production standards, but then again maybe GM is trying to cut costs by lowering machining costs
